Howto:WLAN Interop Test Description

Summary

This article describes the WLAN interop test done by innovaphone when testing the compatibility of a WLAN infrastructure with innovaphone WLAN IP Phones. All tests are defined as KO-criteria and have to be passed to achive Recommended Product status.

Test Name

Association and Authentication

WPA2-PSK with AES-CCMP encryption

PEAP-MSCHAPv2 with AES-CCMP encryption

QoS and WMM

Maximum Number of Calls

Roaming and Handover

Power-Save and Battery Lifetime

802.11 Power-Save Mode

802.11e U-APSD

Battery Lifetime in Idle

Battery Lifetime in Call with U-APSD

Association and Authentication

To reduce averall number of tests only two different security modes are tested: one with pre-shared key and one with username and password using PEAP-MSCHAPv2. The test is always performed with the best available security mode and encryption. At this moment WPA2-PSK+AES-CCMP or PEAP-MSCHAPv2+AES-CCMP are preffered security modes. In case this modes are not available, a fallback to next best available mode is performed.

WPA2-PSK with AES-CCMP encryption

The tested wireless infrastructure must pass this test with the best available security mode to achieve Recommended Product status.

Pre-shared key tests:

1. WPA2-PSK+AES-CCMP
2. WPA2-PSK+TKIP
3. WPA-PSK+AES-CCMP
4. WPA-PSK+TKIP
5. WEP

PEAP-MSCHAPv2 with AES-CCMP encryption

The tested wireless infrastructure must pass this test with the best available security mode to achieve Recommended Product status.

PEAP tests:

1. PEAP-MSCHAPv2+AES-CCMP
2. PEAP-MSCHAPv2+TKIP
3. PEAP-MSCHAPv2+WEP
